In the hunting arena, Nangong Li's voice echoed through the morning air, filled with anger and anxiety. "Where is the Young Master? Have you found him?" His gaze swept over every guard present, hoping to find an answer on their faces.
The guards knelt down, their voices tinged with panic. "We have searched all night, but we still have not found any trace of the Young Master." Their eyes were cast down, unable to meet Nangong Li's furious gaze.
Nangong Li furrowed his brow, a sense of foreboding rising within him. "Keep searching!" he shouted sternly. "We must find the Young Master!"
At that moment, a familiar sound of footsteps came from outside the tent, accompanied by slight panting. "Father, I'm back," Li Yue hurriedly ran into the tent, a hint of fatigue on her face.
Seeing Li Yue return safely, everyone present let out a sigh of relief. Nangong Li was especially excited, stepping forward and tightly embracing Li Yue, his voice trembling with emotion. "You're back! Where have you been? Are you hurt? You nearly worried me to death!" Nangong Li's voice shook with excitement and joy as he firmly grasped Li Yue's shoulders.
Li Yue smiled and shook her head, holding her father's hand as she said, "Father, I'm fine. I'm sorry to have worried you."
Nangong Li released Li Yue and carefully examined her, his eyes filled with concern. "Are you really not hurt? Please tell me what happened. Why didn't you come home last night?"
Li Yue took a deep breath and recounted her experiences from the previous night. She explained to her father that she had accidentally fallen into a trap while hunting and had to exert a lot of effort to free herself. However, just as she was preparing to return, she encountered a fierce beast. After a fierce struggle, she finally subdued the creature. By that time, it was already late, and fearing she would get lost in the dark, she decided to rest nearby for the night and return at dawn.
As Li Yue spoke, Nangong Li's expression grew increasingly serious. He held Li Yue's hand tightly, worry etched on his face. "You were too reckless. Do you have any idea how dangerous this forest is? If something were to happen to you, how would I explain it to your mother's spirit?"
Li Yue looked at her father's worried expression, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She gently held her father's hand and smiled to reassure him, saying, "It's okay, I'm back now. You don't need to worry anymore."
Nangong Li watched Li Yue's playful demeanor and shook his head, lightly patting her on the head as he said, "Alright, the hunting competition has ended. It's time to announce the winner, so let's go."
Li Yue nodded gently and replied softly, "Yes, Father."
Nangong Li walked towards the center of the camp with Li Yue. The Young Masters from various cities had been waiting for a long time, and Wu Yunxiao was also standing below. Nangong Li smiled and waved to everyone, then stepped up to the stage, cleared his throat, and said loudly, "Thank you all for participating in this hunting competition. After a day of competition, the winner has been determined."
Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately erupted into excitement, discussing and speculating about who the winner might be. Nangong Li announced, "The winner of this hunting competition is the Young Master of Wuyan City—Wu Yunxiao!"
As soon as this result was announced, thunderous applause and cheers filled the camp. Wu Yunxiao stood among the crowd, wearing a proud expression, but a hint of complex emotion flashed in his eyes. Li Yue looked at Wu Yunxiao, feeling somewhat puzzled, but she quickly pushed those doubts aside and smiled as she congratulated Wu Yunxiao from the stage. However, her gaze remained fixed on Mo Hansheng, who stood behind Wu Yunxiao in the crowd.
Mo Hansheng stood behind Wu Yunxiao with a cold expression, like a solitary mountain, quietly towering in the sky. His eyes were deep, as if hiding endless secrets, making it impossible for people to peek into his heart, as if he didn't know Li Yue at all.
"Wu Yunxiao," Li Yue softly uttered his name, furrowing her brow.
Mo Hansheng looked up at her, then lightly replied with lip language, "I am Mo Hansheng," before turning and leaving.
Li Yue was stunned as she watched Mo Hansheng's departing figure, a multitude of questions arising in her heart. "Wu Yunxiao," Li Yue repeated his name.
At that moment, Nangong Li's voice broke the silence. "Everyone, I announce that Wuyan City and my Qingli City will become allies from this moment on. And my daughter..." His words were filled with authority. However, Li Yue suddenly interrupted him. She tugged at her father's sleeve and whispered, "Father, let's postpone the marriage alliance for now."
Nangong Li paused for a moment, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes. He quietly asked, "Yue'er, why is that?" His voice revealed a touch of bewilderment.
Li Yue took a deep breath. She looked at her father and said softly, "Father, I'll explain to you later."
Nangong Li looked at her, remained silent for a moment, and then sighed. He knew that Li Yue must have her own thoughts and plans. "Alright, then I will defer to you," he said, his voice filled with resignation.
Then he spoke loudly to everyone, "Everyone, please take a rest. Tomorrow I will announce the chosen candidate for the marriage alliance."
Li Yue breathed a sigh of relief, then turned and left, her heart filled with anxiety.
Mo Hansheng's departing figure had already disappeared from the camp, but Li Yue couldn't stop thinking about his name. " Wu Yunxiao." She softly uttered the name, her brow furrowed. This name made her feel both familiar and unfamiliar, and her heart was full of doubt.
[By the edge of the small woods] A figure stood quietly, Mo Hansheng stood there, looking up at the sky, his eyes full of depth. He gazed at the clouds in the sky, quietly waiting for Li Yue to arrive.
Li Yue ran over panting and asked, "Wu Yunxiao! Wu Yunxiao! What's going on? Who are you really? What did you just say down there?" Her face was full of confusion.
Mo Hansheng looked at Li Yue's anxious expression and couldn't help but sigh softly. He knew he couldn't continue to conceal the truth. In a deep voice, he said, "I said, my name is Mo Hansheng."
Those few words were like an arrow, instantly piercing Li Yue's heart. She widened her eyes, looking at Mo Hansheng in disbelief, as if she had seen a completely unfamiliar person. Countless questions and astonishment surged in her heart, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. Li Yue looked at Mo Hansheng with an incredulous expression in her eyes, and exclaimed, "You are Mo Hansheng!"
Mo Hansheng looked at Li Yue's shocked expression, and couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart. He knew that his identity was a huge shock to Li Yue. So he whispered, "Yes! I am Mo Hansheng! The Young Master of Mo-Cang City! Mo Hansheng!"
At that moment, the tranquility of the small grove was once again shattered. But this time, the air was filled not with confusion and unease, but with an inexplicable sense of crisis. The gazes of Mo Hansheng and Li Yue met in the air, as if an invisible force was quietly growing between them.
"Are you... are you really Mo Hansheng?" Li Yue's voice trembled slightly as she tried to find an answer in Mo Hansheng's eyes, but they only held coldness.
Mo Hansheng nodded without avoiding Li Yue's gaze: "Yes! I know this is very sudden for you, but I don't want to lie to you."
As Mo Hansheng's words fell, a brief silence fell over the small grove. Li Yue's eyes flickered with complex emotions, including surprise, fear, and a barely perceptible sense of anticipation. Mo Hansheng watched her quietly, as if waiting for a storm to arrive.
"You lied to me!" Li Yue's words were filled with anger and disappointment, her eyes like sharp knives, piercing deeply into Mo Hansheng.
Mo Hansheng looked at Li Yue's expression and couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt in his heart. He said in a deep voice, "Yes! But when I said I want to marry you, I meant it!"
However, at this moment, Li Yue couldn't listen to any of Mo Hansheng's explanations. Her heart was filled with pain and anger. She rebuked, "Enough! I will never marry you!" With that, she turned to leave, not wanting to see this man who had broken her heart again.
Seeing this, Mo Hansheng grabbed Li Yue's hand and explained, " Li Yue! Listen to me! I truly love you! When I said I want to marry you, I meant it! From the beginning to the end! The only thing I concealed was my identity! Apart from that, I have not lied to you in any way!"
Li Yue tried to break free from his grasp, but Mo Hansheng held on tighter. She struggled desperately, her voice hoarse: "Mo Hansheng! Let go! Let go of me!"
Watching Li Yue in such painful struggle, Mo Hansheng felt helpless. He ultimately made a cruel decision, gently striking Li Yue to knock her unconscious, then carefully cradling her in his arms.
"I'm sorry, Li Yue," his voice filled with helplessness, "but you can only be mine! You must be mine!" With that, he gently pressed his lips to Li Yue's forehead. Though his actions were unacceptable, his feelings were genuine.
